Cloud Strife and his friends are top of the charts in Great Britain, as Final Fantasy VII Remake is number one in the UK.
To say that expectations were high for Final Fantasy VII Remake is an understatement. The game wജas originally released in '97 and fans have been asking for the game to be remade with betteꩲr technology for decades.
Square Enix finally announced that Final Fantasy VII Remake was in development during E3 2015, which was followed by barely talking about the game for several years. Things started to heat up in 2019 when Square Enix started showing footage of the game during events. The game seemed set to hit its April 2020 release date (following a minor delay), but the COVID-19 situation meant that copies we🎉re distributed at different times throughout the world. The United Kingdom was one such place were copies were sent out early, and both social media and streaming sites became a minefield for spoilers.
The chaos surrounding its release has done little to hamper Final Fantasy VII Remake in the UK charts. According to , Final Fantasy VII Remake is the number one selling game in the UK for the week ending April 11. It's followed by Call of Duty: Modern Warfare in second place and Animal Crossing: New Horizons in third. These sales only reflect the physical copies of the game shipped. It's likely that Square Enix's decision to ship Final Fantasy VII Remake early in the UK contributed to its success, as the game sold out at multiple retailers in the🎃 days following the announcement.
Final Fantasy VII Remake is available now for PlayStation 4.
